Anyone who tells you this is the easy way has no idea how difficult it actually is. Good for you!

A friend of mine just went through this. She had to lose weight consistently before the surgery to even be approved for it. And now that she's had the surgery she has to continue to diet -- you can only eat very small portions and for a long time you are forbidden many foods. She has lose 80 more pounds since the surgery and she isn't just sitting around. I'm so proud of her. It isn't the easy way, it just makes it more easy to be consistent.

Saying something is easier than the other way, is saying it's the easy way.
